Sydney is an ace (asexual identifying individual) who goes on blind dates to appease her overbearing roommate and best friend, Rachel. She truly has no desire to date, but she's learned over the years that it's just easier to oblige her pushy friend, and at least sometimes she gets a good story out of it. Adam is a lonely writer eager to find "the one". How in the world did these two get matched? This is the story of their blind date.

A group of heroic firefighters at Seattle Fire Station 19—from captain to newest recruit—risk their lives and hearts both in the line of duty and off the clock. These brave men and women are like family, literally and figuratively, and together they put their own lives in jeopardy as first responders to save the lives of others.

This is a book excerpt adaptation from Anna Akana's "So Much I Want To Tell You: Letters To My Little Sister"
